I just see prices lol. However the cashier is really nice and can answer many questions. Their papaya salad is the BEST I have ever had. Super fresh, made order. They wrap it up real tight with syranwrap so none of the sauce spills. They have a more extended menu Friday to Sunday.

You can customize the spice level exactly how you like it, and they always pack it carefully so nothing leaks.

I finally got a chance to check out Lee's Supermarket. The parking is plentiful in this strip mall…read more A clean store with their sandwich shop inside their market. Though, they have no area to sit down. They have good prices on some of their produce and other things. I also like that the prices are bold. LOL. NOTE: They do no allow photos!!! While I was shopping and taking pics of ingredients for a particular recipe I was going to make. An elderly gentlemen approached me and asked, "Why are you taking photos?" I answered, "Oh, I am going to write a review." He looked puzzled, then replied, "We don't allow photos!" Oh, ok this person is on staff at the market. Alright. I am not deterred. I found some good prices on produce. Overall, 3.5 stars. Support your local business.

After years of construction, I was excited to finally check out Lee's Supermarket in San Jose, but…read morethe experience was pretty lackluster. Honestly, it didn't feel like a newly remodeled store. It felt more like they just put up a new sign outside. They might as well have had a banner that said "under new management." Lee's is known for their great sandwiches, so I expected more of a café-style setup where you could browse a variety of sandwiches and maybe sit down to eat. Instead, there's no seating area and the menu is just a large LCD screen listing sandwich names and prices with no photos. The store itself feels cramped, with most of the space dedicated to shelves rather than any place to relax or enjoy food. I was hoping for something closer to a Whole Foods style experience where you could grab a sandwich, a drink, and maybe meet friends. Instead, it feels like a typical Asian market without much innovation. The one cool touch was that every checkout lane had fresh baked baguettes ready to go. That and my sandwich was delicious but instead of eating it right than and there I had to drive home in traffic and eat it cold. I just love eating em' freshly made and the bread right out of the oven. For sandwiches, I'll probably stick to the regular Lee's Sandwich locations nearby.

Sharing my recent visit to La Princesa, Friday April 17 2026…read more. I genuinely wanted to support this store, but what I witnessed has changed my perspective. I observed a clear case of cross-contamination between non-halal and halal meat handling. A staff member handled pork and then proceeded to serve halal meat using the same gloves, without changing them. The same worker also placed a bag of pork directly on the counter used for halal items. This is not a minor oversight--it reflects a serious lapse in basic halal food handling standards. I raised this with the manager, but unfortunately did not receive the level of assurance or accountability I expected, especially given the severity of the issue. Management needs to take this matter seriously, as it is deeply concerning to the Muslim community. The placement of non-halal meat in close proximity to halal meat should not be considered acceptable in the first place. Based on this experience, I'm giving a 1-star rating.

All I could think was imagine being a cashier and having to listen to this crap above your head all day. Really weird store overall.

Furthermore being it's in east San Jose, don't expect to have a good time here because some of the employees are very shady and are involved in some kind of scam. I have reason to suspect is run by a Romanian scamming ring. If you live at a another branch of Lion Market, you are better off going to that one. The store is also very cold, it felt like I took a trip to Antarctica. I ask do not take shortcuts by going to this store. You will be left with a lot of fear. However I have to give them props for their clams, top of the line but buy at your own risk. Not sure who owns this place but I was using a shopping cart from a mexican market.
